The summer solstice is a reminder that nature needs light and dark, warm and cold, tension and release.

Looking ahead to when the earth tilts back towards the South, this month’s Notes from Nature celebrates the tension and release that comes with the changing seasons.

IMAGE: Between the blue and the green, Wellderfolk gather on Goring Gap where they stand, sit and lay together, accompanied by the sonorous glory of the Gathering Light Choir. From the right, the tree line slopes down to meet the sea, which is just visible in the distance, running off to the left hand side where it vanishes into weather-beaten greenery. Across the middle, Wellderfolk commune around the campfire.

Spend a lazy evening in the mid-summer sun. The Wellderness Way.

Sunday, 21st of June 2026. 5pm to 9pm.

Wild Heart Hill campsite, Long Furlong, Worthing

This year, the light will linger longest on a Sunday. So, we thought, what better way to celebrate than to lounge around the South Downs, late into the evening.

Stretched out upon a sun drenched field, you'll hear Paradise Wild tell tales filled with nature and wonder, while the soft sounds of crystal bowls and koshi bells wash across you in gentle waves.

Then Mick Channon will lead a simple celebration of the turning seasons. As the sun begins its daily dip behind the horizon, we'll mark the light beginning its yearly retreat as the earth tilts back towards the South.

Wellderfolk of all ages are invited to give gratitude for this cycle of life, nature and community.

Tickets are £12 per adult and £6 for anyone aged five to 16-years old. Under fives are free. And if any of that's too much, just get in touch.

Limited car parking is available, charged at £5 per car.

IMAGE: surrounded by a bright yellow border, the image shows illustrated hills rolling together as the sun beams across them against a bright sky. At the top, in large yellow letters it says "Summer Solstice 2026." At the bottom, "Wild Heart Hill, Long Furlong, BN14 0RJ. Sunday, 21st June - 5pm to 9pm."

IMAGE: surrounded by a bright yellow border, the image blends photography with illustration. The photograph is of a group of people, sitting on the grass at Wild Heart Hill as the mid summer sun casts a soft evening light across the backs of their heads. Over that, illustrated hills roll together as a faint sun beams across them. At the top is written "Wild Heart Hill, Long Furlong, BN14 0RJ. Sunday, 21st June - 5pm to 9pm." At the bottom, in large yellow letters it says "Summer Solstice 2026."

Spend a long, lazy evening in the mid-summer sun. The Wellderness Way.
